I wonder what would happen if he got in. I can't imagine that he would be able to impose any of his beliefs on the country as the new laws wouldn't get through the senate surely. So his religion shouldn't matter.

I have tried working out why anyone who's not rich would vote Republican and I just can't do it. From my woefully inadequate view the party loves tax cuts for the rich and being as shitty as they can get away with to most workers through curbs on unions and workers rights. They also love guns and think the constitution was written by a bunch of prescient superheroes and that it's somehow even more relevant now than it was a few hundred years ago. They think anyone who thinks the Government can solve any problem is filthy socialist scum who is obviously a closet Nazi. They just seem like all the crazy parts of the UK Conservative party but they move everything up to an 11.

Maybe it's just me but I would never vote for them and I doubt anyone on here is rich enough that the policies they seem to champion would help rather than hinder.

What about Michele Bachmann? She announced her candidacy a day or two ago. She's a lot like Sarah Palin, but is a more credible candidate according to... I dunno, some guy. I forget. Anyway! She's anti-homosexuality, anti-abortion, and pro teaching intelligent design in schools. A terrifying prospect if she were to unexpectedly steal the election.

The republicans basically if you're poor and in poverty its your own fault and its up to the individual to help themselves, not the state. This is why self-made rich folk 'living the american dream' get tax cuts whilst they oppose Obama's healthcare bill.

I know we have some scroungers in this country but there are people that really need handouts from the state and Universal Healthcare. I'd rather a clean conscience knowing my tax pounds are saving lives and feeding the needy than paying less and watching my fellow man starve.
